Operation NIGHTLATCH was initiated in response to repeated unauthorized drone incursions targeting key comms infrastructure near the southeastern border zone. Sentinel field teams deployed a modular array of signal-tracking towers and launched a sweep of low-altitude detection drones.

Over a 60-day period, the team intercepted and logged 47 distinct incursion attempts—22 of which were confirmed to originate from a known foreign proxy network. Zero breaches were recorded after deployment of active jamming countermeasures.

Coordinated with regional airspace command, the operation resulted in full containment of the threat vector and led to actionable intel on adjacent cell activity.
